Test script: --------------- global $var1; function funct1() { echo $var1; } include 'incl_file1'; incl_dile1: function funct2() { echo $var1; } Expected result: ---------------- should work without problem or notice that var1 is not defined... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51840&edit=1
